A Haven for Artists in Bloomsbury
Founded by Eleanor Whitmore and James Caldwell, two former art college lecturers, began as a small studio supply shop on Southampton Row. What started with a passion for quality materials has grown into London's most trusted destination for artists, illustrators, and creative professionals.
We personally test every product we stock. From student-grade sketching pencils to archival watercolour papers, each item earns its place on our shelves through performance, reliability, and value.
